Welcome to the third annual Nordic Public Policy Symposium organized by Skatteforsk – Centre for Tax Research on December 11-12th 2025 at NMBU just outside Oslo.
Register interest by: October 15th, 2025
We welcome work from researchers based in Nordic countries, or using Nordic data or institutions as part of their analysis, and on all topics related to public policy and public economics, broadly defined, such as taxation, inequality, health, education, regulation, labor markets, or climate policy. A share of the spots will be reserved for early-career researchers
The symposium combines a relaxed academic setting with the opportunity for structured feedback and networking. The social outing includes traditional Norwegian Christmas Dinner in a barn on a local farm. Participants are expected to attend both days of the symposium, including the shared meals and social program, to foster academic interaction and networking.
